While We Are Mad At Everybody - Repug And Democrat- I Have Something Nice To Say

[DemocratSinceBirth]

It tool moral and political courage for Susan Collins to buck her entire party and vote to repeal DADT. History will remember what she did yesterday.

As an aside how can she caucus with those yahoos. I picture Jim Demented picking his nose and eating it, John McCain passing gas, and Lindsay Graham humming the tune from Deliverance.

1. I agree. I don't care where a person stands, if they did the right thing

it deserves credit. Why can't we sway her to become a Dem???? LOL..

2. Because she has a lot more power as a puke

she's the last of the truly moderate rupublicans, hopefully the stench pervading their get-togethers drives her across the aisle one day.

3. Their Get Togethers Must Be Like Dining With The Three Stooges

I'll bet their caucus has the ambiance of locker room after a University Of Alabama football team win, circa 1950...

4. While we're being nice ...

... Dement would never pick his nose. Inserting his finger into his nose is a little too close to sex, and that just ain't Christian.

McCain is too constipated to even pass gas.

And Graham has much too purty a mouth to hum Dueling Banjos.

5. It didn't take an ounce of political courage

She knew there were not enough votes for it to pass. Believe me, if the vote had been 59-41, she would not have provided the 60th vote. It's a common tactic for Senators to do that when they know a bill will fail anyway.

The entire Democratic House did that with the middle-class tax cuts, knowing full well it would fail in the Senate. They could look like angels, while contributing absolutely nothing positive to the problem of potential loss of unemployment insurance and the phase out of various other stimulative tax measures. They didn't have courage either: they just got to cast an easy vote.

Full of sound and fury and signifying nothing.
